Storage: setting planned stock
Where do I set the target?
A shelf’s planned-stock panel accepts several items, each with its own target. A Transit Crate’s rule settings use distribution mode, one item and a maintained quantity. Deliveries fill these targets.
Why isn’t a small shortage refilled?
Ordinary restocking first checks whether stored plus incoming stock is below 80% of the plan. For manual delivery to a target of 100, 80 does not trigger it; 79 does. The ratio set in a shelf window applies to all shelves.
- Free wagons also require the configured minimum transfer, initially 1000 items. A shortage of just 21 items does not create a free-wagon task.
- Fixed-route unloading checks plan minus stored stock at arrival; it need not wait for the ordinary-restocking ratio.
How do the two Transit Crate modes work?
| Mode | Quantity and direction |
|---|---|
| Collection: small deposits, batch export | Accepts small deposits; manual batch export starts at the configured quantity. Fixed routes may load from it, but cannot unload into it. |
| Distribution: batch import, individual use | Maintains one item for the allowed careers. Manual replenishment starts below 80% by default. Fixed routes may unload into it, but cannot load from it. |
How much fits?
Shelf capacity is width × height × capacity per tile, shared by all goods. Efficient storage multiplies Large Storage Chest and Material Pile capacity by 10.
| Storage | Base capacity |
|---|---|
| Large Storage Chest | 15,000 |
| Material Pile | 10,000 |
| Transit Crate | 2,000 |
| Shelf | 2,000 per tile |
Which settings can block supply?
| Shelf setting | Effect |
|---|---|
| Disable everyday use | Blocks residents’ food, clothing and tools; construction and cooking inputs remain accessible. |
| Disable sale | Blocks sale deliveries to Trading Posts, Border Trade Outposts, Docks and Reception Desks. Docks in river-shipping mode may still receive goods. |
| Allow supply to other shelves | Enable at the source and disable at the receiver to use the source’s planned reserve for the receiver’s shortage. Enabling both does not release that reserve. |
Why can stock exceed a target of 100?
The plan controls replenishment, not a hard storage ceiling. Connected workshops can deposit outputs beyond an item’s target; total shelf capacity still limits all goods together.
Why has the ice cellar stopped accepting goods?
Both ice cellars automatically spend 1 blue gem per 30-day recharge. Without energy, manual and free-wagon deliveries may bring only blue gems; fixed routes handle no cargo, including gems. Deliver gems by another mode and wait for the daily recharge check.
